Because need-based aid scales with family income, what students actually pay differs sharply across income brackets.

| $30,001 – $75,000 | $19,550 |
| Over $75,000 | $27,545 |
Remember these are net prices — what families pay after gift aid, not before.
After grants and scholarships come off the published price, what remains is the net price — the best estimate of true out-of-pocket cost.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $24,865 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $24,327 |
